Universal Pole Accessories

Conductor Cleaning Brush: Semi-tubular shape allows linemen to clean 6″ of entire circumference of conductor with two stick position.

Hot Rodder Tool 17/32″: Ideal for applying line ties and other formed wire products on energized lines. This unit is particularly adaptable to Super Top-Ties®. The loop type work end permits rotational control which is difficult with conventional tying tools.

Hot Rodder Tool 11/16″: Ideal for applying line ties and other formed wire products on energized lines. The loop type work end permits rotational control which is difficult with conventional tying tools.

All Angle Pliers: Designed to grasp from any angle, and tighten by clockwise rotation of the Universal Tool handle. The jaws are held firmly in position with a wing-nut. Used as a holding device for retaining bolt heads and loose hardware, adjusting arcing horns, replacingcotter keys, etc.

Plastic Insulator Tool: Plastic coating of the Chance Ball and Socket Adjuster prevents damage to Epoxilator distribution deadend insulators during lifting or rotating of the insulator. Arms of the tool are designed to fit between the skirts of the insulator.

Ball-Socket Adjuster: Similar to the M4455-87 Chance Ball socket Adjuster, this Adjuster is designed to handle socket adapters up to 2.75 inches wide.

Cotter Key Holder: Used to install cotter keys into semirecessed hardware such as found EHV, this tool will hold the keys of the position for proper insertion into clevis pins. The tool will hold the key firmly, yet readily release onceengagement is made.

Knocker: Designed to knock out and pull the cotter keys on fog-type insulators, the Knocker Tool is spring assisted for greater impact in restricted space and under adverse working conditions. The Knocker has a standard universal fitting one end and a Universal fitting one end and a Universal fitting with wingnut on the other end to receive various Cotter Key

Clevis Pin Installer: This tool has particular application on EHV hardware and insulators where the pin must be placed in semi-recessed areas. The three-finger device is spring-loaded with cadmium- plated music wire for positive grip.

Tool for “W” Keys: This tool is used for handling the “W” shaped keys used in suspension insulators which are popular in western Europe and Japan.

This Cotter Key Puller is used to partially withdraw a ball-socket cotter key so that the insulator can be removed from another insulator hanger. This puller with its thin prong is preferred for prying out standard keys deeply set on long insulator strings.

Aerosol Can Holder: By pulling the rope on this tool, a prong reaches out to depress the nozzle of an aerosol can to apply G.E. Insuljel to insulators or insecticides to bee and wasp nests on poles and crossarms. Also useful for applying paint, lubricant, etc., in hard-to-reach places.

This Ratchet Wrench is for tightening square nuts on 5’8″ pole line hardware, regardless of the length of the bolt running beyond it. The long socket permits wrench handles to swing past crossarm when tightening top ridge pin nut.

Bolt Head Wrench: Used on heads of 3/4″ and 5/8″ dia. bolts to keep bolt from turning as nut is being tightened. Extremely useful on rural ridge pin type construction— outer edges of wrench are tapered so that they can be wedged between flanges on channel and bolt head to keep bolt from turning.

Ball-Socket Adjuster: Used on heavy socket clevises, particularly where aluminum suspension and deadend clamps are attached to ball and socket insulators.

Hammer: Used for many operations around energized conductors such as moving conductors such as moving suspension clamps and other pieces of hardware requiring a forceful blow.

Universal Adapter: When this adapter is mounted on a universal stick, and any universal stick, and any universal tool is mounted on the adapter, the tool can be set at almost any angle to the stick. Useful for working in close places

Utility Head: Gator-look shape makes Utility Head popular for many hot line jobs: Placing and removing blocks, slings, circuit breakers, line hooks and strain breakers.

Wire Tie Claw: Hand-like hot line tool easily and neatly applies tie wires, both factory-formed and field-formed. Claw controls wire with grip equal to pliers, permits securely wrapping tight coils onto conductors.
